Les Tonnelles

Fine dining experience with seasonal and locally harvested ingredients. This restaurant brings the farm to table experience to a whole new level. We had a reservation on their first working day of 2023 and were greeted with a warm welcome at their fireplace. Afterwards we were brought to our private table where we got explanation on the local herbs, vegetables, and vineyard they had.
Each of the dishes reminded me of Japanese kaiseki style meals but were unmistakably prepared in a French way.
The drink pairing (we had the non-alcoholic) were great and complemented the taste of the dishes. At the end of the course, we got to talk with the chef. The servers were also very friendly and professional.

Location wise it is a bit further away from the main locations like Kanazawa, but still well within accessible distance with public transport + walking or taxi. The chef even drove us back to the station due to the lack of taxis on a particular rainy day around the new year -- many thanks again for this! Would like to come back again in a different season to taste the seasonal menu when we visit the area again.

We had a great time having lunch during our trip to Kanazawa for our pearl wedding❣️Awesome dishes made by a young chef Marco from Mexico, full of sensibility, and an exquisite wine pairing by a senior sommelier from Fukushima🥂🍾🍷🍶The gin was also delicious🍸
And the manager Kita Garcon's pleasant service💗Starting with a consommé made with 30 kinds of vegetables, we use plenty of various autumn vegetables and herbs from the vineyard, and a quench of high-quality ingredients🐟pine needle crab🦀cold yellowtail 🐟Tsuki no Ringuma🐻Noto beef🐂🥩Aruba truffles⚫️⚪️etc. We enjoyed each dish cooked in the best condition😋We had a blissful time✨

I went there for the first time since it became a grape forest. The menu was new. Home grown vegetables were fresh. There were grapes, too, and I ate as much as I could.
